Form check: who is trending up?

The run-in: remaining fixtures and dates

Small margins in the numbers
Performance rate sits at 73% for Arsenal and 71% for City, reflecting how tight this season has been. The average Sofascore Rating is 6.93 for Arsenal and 7.03 for City, a slim edge for the holders in match‑by‑match output. Given the minimal gaps across form, goals and Ratings, the final week should be decided by small details.
However it ends, this has been a high‑level title chase built on consistency. Keep an eye on those two dates in May and follow the live scores, player stats and Sofascore Ratings to see who lifts the Premier League trophy.
